After cleaning up the mess, Su Li returned to her room. and instead of sleeping on, Black Lotus asked with excitement, “How do you feel after absorbing the ghost energy?”
Su Li frowned and said honestly, “There is no feeling.”
“No?!”
Black Lotus was stunned and said, “I’ve seen the body of evil ghost before. After you have absorbed the energy from a ghost being at Guiwang Realm, there should be enough energy to awaken your talent, no matter how weak you are. How could it be possible that you have no reaction at all?”
Su Li shook her head, saying helplessly, “What good is it for me to cheat you?”
“Indeed, no good for you.”
Black Lotus smiled and muttered to himself, “It seems that your talent of evil ghost is much more powerful than those I’ve seen before.”
Su Li nodded slightly. While absorbing Ye Ji, she did feel a special force sleeping inside her body. And after sensing it with difficulties, she estimated that she would need at least three more Ye Ji of the same size to awaken the special force completely.
Thinking about this, Su Li suddenly recalled the strange incident that happened in Tiehe Village and could not help asking, “Isn’t it a gift that my blood caused mortals to get crazy back then?”
“What kind of talent is that?”
Black Lotus snorted, “Just like mistakenly ingesting poison, if the immortals drank the blood of an ordinary Ghost Clan member, they would get the same symptoms. As you were born weak, and the toxins in your blood were not strong enough to kill a mortal, let alone a practitioner. If that’s all a body of evil ghost could do, why would it be regarded as a taboo?”
“However, if your body of evil ghost is completely awakened, the power in your bloodline will be greatly enhanced. You might poison a practitioner with the poison in your blood in the future, let’s expect that day!”
Su Li was speechless about Black Lotus’s tone of wishing for the world to be in chaos. After a while, she continued to ask, “Why has my strength suddenly increased so much? Is there anything wrong?”
In terms of strength, that Ye Ji had clearly reached Jindan Realm, which was equivalent to Guiwang Realm what Black Lotus talked about. It was unreasonable that she could’ve defeated Ye Ji, while her flesh had just reached the peak of Zhuji Realm.
“This is the benefit brought by breaking through the seventh hurdle of ancient Lianqi Realm.”
Black Lotus snapped, “Did you think that the mental method I gave you was crap? That’s really the best practice method from ancient times. From Kuiyu Palace, I laboriously sto…”
Black Lotus was suddenly silent.
Su Li blinked her eyes, and there was no obvious expression on her face.
It wasn’t long before Black Lotus reappeared and asked in a lower voice, “You… you must have not heard clearly what I said just now, right?”
“No, I have heard you loud and clear. You stole something!”
Su Li said that firmly, not considering the expression on Black Lotus’s face. And Black Lotus was almost fainted to hear that and complained, “How could I admit someone like you as my master…”
After being self-blamed for a moment, Black Lotus, as if he had found a reason to justify himself, cheered up and righteously snorted, “What if I did steal? My capability allowed me to steal something in Kuiyu Palace!”
Seeing Black Lotus desperately trying to save his image, Su Li couldn’t help but laugh, but she was curious about the location of Kuiyu Palace.
However, one thing was certain that this palace must be built in the ancient period. If Black Lotus still could remember something so long ago, how could it be possible to forget its own name…
The thought flashed over in her mind, and then Su Li continued to listen to Black Lotus to explain the origin of the mental method.
“This sacred practice method I gave you was created by the lord of Kuiyu Palace back then. He was… a genuine overlord, and his exact realm was no longer verifiable. However, those so-called Mighty in the cultivation circle today would be no different like ants if they were compared with him. And you should feel lucky to have the chance to practice the sacred practice method he left behind!”
As Black Lotus boasted, he noticed Su Li was concentrated to listen. He couldn’t help but wipe his sweats. Finally, he could get over the dishonorable history of the past, and then he said seriously,
“The biggest difference between the ancient sacred method and the current one is that, besides the more divided realms, there is an even bigger divine thing called Chuangxing Path.”
“Chuangxing Path?”
Su Li repeated the words, which was completely unfamiliar to her. She was afraid that no one in the cultivation circle in Jiuzhou Region except Black Lotus could explain it for her.
“Exactly!”
Black Lotus recalled, “The ancient time was brightest when speaking of cultivation. Various practice methods were blossoming, and each had its own unique features. Among them, Chuangxing Path was recognized to be the superior practice method with infinite possibilities in the cultivation circle.”
After hearing the description of the ancient cultivation circle by Black Lotus, Su Li had a deep longing for it and wished to see how wonderful that era was.
At this moment, Black Lotus sank down its voice, “However, there were very few people who could practice the top practice method of Chuangxing Path. The reason was its exclusivity on the one hand and… the high practicing requirement, on the other hand.”
“What’s the requirement?”
As Su Li asked, Black Lotus replied in a stern tone, “Only those who practiced the three disciplines of soul, body, and method could stand the test of Chuangxing Path!”
“What’s the meaning of practicing the three disciplines? With the modern words, one should learn the three disciplines, the body method, the practice method, and the ghost method simultaneously, and each of them should be on the average level at least!”
Su Li was shocked slightly.
It was known in the cultivation circle that the combat power would be greatly increased if one practiced two disciplines at the same time. But very few people except those extremely talented would do this, because… one’s energy was limited, and learning two disciplines at the same time would lead to cultivating in the spectrum but not in-depth and even miss the opportunity to breakthrough.
No one with a rational brain would do such a stupid thing, exchanging the future for temporary strength.
And now, Black Lotus was talking about practicing the three disciplines together?
“With your talent in the last life, it would be difficult to practice two disciplines, let alone three disciplines. But in this life, you are different.”
Black Lotus laughed, “Any idea about the body of evil ghost? That’s a gift even the natural law would envy! After the awakening of your talent, the natural growth of your soul force will be faster than that of an ordinary ghost practitioner. And the method I’ve given you has originally combined method and body practice, so it will be easy to practice the three disciplines. As long as you don’t expose yourself, there won’t be any hindrance until you need to pass nature’s test!”
Speaking of this, Black Lotus couldn’t help but show off and said proudly, “Well? Little Su Li, do you finally get to know what a great existence I am?”
Su Li smiled, “Compared to the Lord of Kuiyu Palace, are you still so great?”
“… We are still good friends if you don’t mention it.”
After that, Black Lotus finally told Su Li how to activate Chuangxing Path with a dark face, and then passed on some knowledge that man should pay attention to during practicing. Four hours had elapsed.
“I’ve said all I need to say, but it is still up to you to practice. I have used up all the shared energy of Ye Ji. When would this recovering come to an end?”
Black Lotus’s voice got lower, “Don’t forget to find out where Ye Ji came from, for you need more ghost energy to awaken.”
Finishing the words, Black Lotus Ring disappeared and finally fell silent. Su Li immediately went to Fan Zisang’s room.
At this moment, everyone was waiting in front of Fan Zisang’s bed, and when they saw Su Li coming, Commander Wang and Mammy Hui consciously gave way to Su Li with a look of respect on their faces.
Su Li inspected Fan Zisang for a while and sensed that he was almost healed. She was slightly relieved and said gently, “Consort Ling, you should know what to do after my senior fellow apprentice is awake.”
Consort Ling was stern to hear that, and instructed, “Both of you, leave us alone and don’t come back until you are called. And you, Ying…”
“Mother, I know what to do.”
Jin Ying interrupted her mother. Being gazed by her terrified mother, Jin Ying grabbed Su Li’s arm and laughed, “I know Junior Sister Apprentice Su best!”
Su Li smiled helplessly and faintly struggled. But she found Ying hugging her tightly, so, she let it go.
Seeing this scene, Consort Ling was full of surprise and joy. After what had just happened, Su Li was obviously already synonymous with mysterious and powerful in Consort Ling’s mind. And it couldn’t have been better for her daughter to be accepted by Su Li!
“Ahem…”
At this time, Fan Zisang, who was lying on the bed, suddenly frowned and coughed. He finally opened his eyes and woke up.
He saw the gauze tent over the bed and was confused for a moment before he remembered the situation before he fell into a coma. He sat up and was frightened in a cold sweat.
“Senior Fellow Apprentice, are you all right?”
Came Jin Ying’s voice. Fan Zisang looked up and found everyone was safe and well, and he was not in the field outside the yard but in his own room. His clothes covered with blood were changed and put aside.
After a moment of silence, Fan Zisang let out a sigh of relief, “It’s great that you guys are safe and sound.”
With a touching glint in her eyes, Consort Ling said sincerely, “Thanks for your help, and you’ve suffered a lot for our safety.”
Thinking of the terrifying power of Ye Ji, Fan Zisang laughed bitterly with fear flashing across his eyes, “What happened after that? How did you get out of the danger?”
Recalling Su Li’s instruction at the door earlier, Consort Ling said, “There was a green-robed elder who suddenly fell from the sky and defeated Lord Ning and the others. And the monster disappeared along with them. I don’t know the details, but the senior said he would come later.”
“A green-robed elder?”
Fan Zisang was a bit nervous because an encounter of two unfamiliar practitioners in the cultivation circle meant mostly killing and robbing. Since his universe ring had not been robbed away, it signified that the elder was decent, and he didn’t have to worry.
As he was thinking, a green flash suddenly passed outside the house, and Lv You’s figure finally appeared, with a unique pneuma of Jindan Realm.
To accomplish Su Li’s task, he had to reveal his pneuma.
He was really a practitioner in Jindan Realm!
Fan Zisang’s face changed slightly, and he got off the bed and bowed to Lv You, “Thank you for saving my life! Senior!”….
Behind him, Consort Ling and the others followed and knelt, and naturally, Su Li was no exception.
